Hi so I cant open any .exe file except for AVAST AV which is scanning my entire system very slow, but Im not sure it will take care of my problem. I keep getting the stupid popup window "Security Warning- Application cannot be executed. The file mbam.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?" It obviously trying to gett me to purchase their fking AV. Sorry Im a little steamed here. I cannot get any av/malware/adware/spyware program to open except AVAST which I downloaded today after this all started happening. I also tried to open the "exefix_vista" and merge it and it told me this Security Warning- Application cannot be executed. The file regedit.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?" Im on WIN 7, please help, I tried running in safemode but all my stupid HP laptop will let me go to is the recover safe mode screen, it will not go into the actual windows safe mode like my previous computers would do. I already tried to do system restore but that failed it wont run. What can I possibly do, before I do a recovery? Im still running the AVAST full system scan, hopefully something comes up but I doubt it. Thank you in advance.
